Summary

Kyrene de la Estrella Elementary School is a public PK–5 school in Phoenix serving 421 students in the Kyrene Elementary District. Its 2025–26 results were above the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, but nearby same-grade-span schools generally scored higher. The key takeaway is that the school is performing around the middle of its nearby peer group, not among its leaders.

Mathematics is the school’s strongest result against state and district benchmarks: 43% of students were proficient, compared with 33% statewide and 41% districtwide. Still, the eight nearby PK–5 peers averaged 50%, and the school ranked fifth of nine in both math and ELA among those schools. ELA proficiency was 42%, just above the state’s 41% but below the district’s 50% and peers’ 53% average. Fifth-grade math stands out as a concern: 35% were proficient, below the state’s 38% and district’s 50%; this was the third-lowest of 10 reported nearby grade-five scores. Fifth-grade science was 34%, matching the state but trailing the district’s 44% and peers’ 42% average.

Fifth-grade science has improved, rising from 26% in 2022–23 to 34% in 2024–25, while the state stayed at 34%; the latest result remains below the district. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing rose from the 42nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 53rd percentile and three stars in 2025–26, though it remains below the 91st percentile recorded in 2017–18. The school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 12.9, lower than the 15.3 average at nearby PK–5 peers; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 27.9% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also flag possible areas of concern: in 2022–23, the school ranked at the 18th percentile for students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds and the 15th percentile for multiracial students, versus the schoolwide 64th percentile; both groups’ rankings had fallen sharply from the prior year.
